All Mixed Up

It's Marvelous Monday yet again and today's theme was pattern mixing. Today wasn't super eventful, but I did go see a matinee showing of The Purge. As far as this outfit goes, I had initially planned a different one, but never got around to doing laundry...so I had to deviate from my intentions. I generally do not like pattern mixing unless the items are in the same color pallet or neutrals because I feel it starts to look to messy and unintentional. This one isn't super out-there, but it does include floral, polka dots, snakeskin, another sort of animal stripe, and tortoise print.


Dress and Purse: Lane Bryant. Shoes: Payless. Necklace and Cuff: Fashion Bug.

I just bought this dress at Lane Bryant; I recently received $40 worth of credit card rewards so despite the fact that I am trying to not buy anything it's like free money. I was very unimpressed with their selection this time around. After awhile of walking around the store I seen this dress in the clearance selection, last one and in my size. It was originally $70, but the clearance was 40% off the lowest marked price, and then there was an additional 25% store-wide off, so I ended up paying $27 for it. Not a bad deal at all!
Be sure to check out how the other ladies do pattern mixing.
